Also not a bargain but Marks are now stocking their mince pie Irish cream and this year they also have a peanut butter one as well as a trifle one. They usually go on offer before Christmas.

Long time lurker on this thread Grin

Would anyone mind pointing out where the wooden food items were from please? Think they were mentioned a couple of threads back. I had a search but couldn’t find the posts.

I bought a till in the Sainsbury’s half price sale for my nephew so they would be perfect to go with it.

Thanks Smile

CupoTeap · 16/10/2019 13:44

Stockingfillers is the same ones as Hawkins bazaar as it is them

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 16/10/2019 13:48

@TensAcrossTheBoard if you wait for a bit, Aldi usually do the wooden food boxes every year. We got them last year.

@Beebeequeue thanks so much just ordered my daughter the teen photoshoot for free Flowers

boobybum · 16/10/2019 14:07

I think it may have been mentioned already but Hollister have a sale on and if you sign up to club Cali there is an additional 20% and I got an extra £10 introductory discount. So I’ve ended up with £109 full price items for just over £33!

Barbeasty · 16/10/2019 14:11

Amazon seem to have reduced lots of their own brand tech stuff.

The Kindle Fire 7” 16Gb is down to £34.99, and the Echo Dot is reduced. I haven’t looked to see what else is.

crustycrab · 16/10/2019 14:15

@TensAcrossTheBoard get him a trolley! We've got that little till and the best accessory we got was the trolley

Elphaba17 · 16/10/2019 14:18

Tenacrossthesale, how much was the till please?

Tesco have a Peppa pig till and trolley set for £17.50 but I'm trying to find a non character one.

Whatsername7 · 16/10/2019 14:22

Just bought two chad valley toys on the 2 for £15. Applied the Chad25 and got them for £11.25. Boom!

makingmiracles · 16/10/2019 14:37

@BeauticianNotMagician81 oh wow didn’t know they did one! Will look out for that, last year we tried Aldi’s choc one, but really didn’t like that.

IggyAce · 16/10/2019 14:39

@Elphaba17 chad valley have a till and trolley they are on the 2 for £15 deal in Argos.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 16/10/2019 14:45

30% off coats and jackets at Tokyo Laundry with the code COAT30

Trumpton · 16/10/2019 15:08

I have 10 M&S codes for 20% off. Valid from tomorrow to Monday .
Pm me and I will reply with code so it’s not so frustrating for you .

I went round M&S today with my iPad connected to their WiFi and filled my online basket ready to check out tomorrow !

TensAcrossTheBoard · 16/10/2019 15:36

@Elphaba17 it was £9.99, it’s the same as this one in Argos www.argos.co.uk/product/8354291

Thanks the trolly looks good, think I’ll get that instead!

crustycrab · 16/10/2019 15:40

It is good. Word of warning with that kitchen, you'll spend hours putting together the little packets that are in it. If you don't want to do it Christmas Day start now!

Limitedsimba123 · 16/10/2019 15:44

Does anyone know if the Aldi and m and s flavoured Irish creams need to be stored in the fridge when opened?

Whitecandle · 16/10/2019 15:48

@Limitedsimba123 yes they do

Limitedsimba123 · 16/10/2019 15:55

Thanks @Whitecandle I was thinking of using shots/miniatures of the different flavours of them in home made crackers (a sort of Irish cream roulette) but will have to think of something else instead.

gaggiagirl · 16/10/2019 16:25

Our Sainsbury's was most civil. I got the Bo Peep with officer mcgiggles funko pop for £7.50. My MiL spent over £100 on all sorts of Lego!

Shantotto · 16/10/2019 16:26

Anyone know of anywhere with discounts / free postage on I’ve resigned myself to spending £18 on soft toy of a piece of toast but postage on top makes it just too expensive for a silly gift to poke out of the top of a stocking!

Stolenidentity · 16/10/2019 16:26

Oh no. Anthropologie have just cancelled half of my order and continued to charge me the same as before. With the p&p it works out more than I would have spent. For two items it was ok. They keep ending the live chat early and not otherwise responding.

noodledoodler · 16/10/2019 16:29

Oh my, I didn't even buy the craft gin, but after looking at their site my facebook has offered me up their page containing a recipe for clementine gin, so now I am on the lookout for offers on london dry gin😀

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 16/10/2019 16:41

The hatchimal play set is back down to £15 on Amazon.
